two different kinds of fish with different requirements.第一次的经验与bettas和第二次与金鱼;两种不同的鱼具有不同的要求。 My first pet fish were a pair of bettas (a male and a female) which my mom bought me because she knew that I liked fish and felt sorry for me because a toy fish was all I had.我的第一只宠物鱼是一种对bettas （一男一女） ，其中我妈妈买我，因为她知道我喜欢鱼和感到遗憾，因为我的玩具鱼是我了。 We put the bettas in a small plastic jar with a floating live plant.我们把bettas在一个小塑料瓶的浮动活植物。 The male was aggressive.男性是侵略性的。 He continuously chased after the female and attacked her until she was full of bruises.他不断地追逐后，女性和攻击她，直到她充满了伤痕。 One night, running out of place to hide, the female desperately jumped out of the water onto the floor.一天晚上，用光了藏身，女性拼命跳出来的水在地上。 Fortunately I was nearby and was able to save her.我是幸运的附近，并能够挽救她。 My mom then suggested that we separate the fish.我妈妈当时建议，我们单独的鱼。 So we put the female in a different jar.因此，我们把女性在不同的罐子。 However, I felt that the female was lonely.然而，我认为，女性是寂寞。 So one day I asked my mom if I could buy another fish.因此，有一天，我问我妈妈我是否可以购买另一鱼类。 There was a beautiful green male betta that I decided to buy.有一个美丽的绿色雄性斗鱼，我决定购买。 At that time I didn't know that bettas were fighting fish and that the males would fight with each other.当时我不知道bettas是斗鱼，而男性将打击对方。 So at first I decided to put the new male in the same container as the first male.所以首先，我决定把新的男性在同一容器作为第一个男性。 I knew the first male was aggressive and I just wondered how he would react toward another male.我知道的第一个男性侵略性，我只是想知道他将如何反应，对另一男性。 To my amazement the two males fought with each other and there was no sign that they would stop.我惊讶的两名男子打彼此之间并没有任何迹象表明他们将停止。 After a while I got worried.过了一阵子我担心。 I didn't want any of them to die so I finally separated them and put the new male together with the female, and to my pleasant surprise they got along pretty well.我不想让任何人死去，所以我终于分开，并把新的男性与女性，和我的惊喜，他们相处得很好。 However, that little jar was kind of small for a pair of fish although they got along.然而，小罐子是一种小型的双鱼虽然他们相处。 So, we decided to move the fish to a much larger plastic container.所以，我们决定将鱼，以一个更大的塑料容器。 Later I added a couple more females so that it became sort of a betta community tank.后来，我说一对夫妇更多的女性，使之成为样的斗鱼社会坦克。 Being fascinated by the beauty of the male bettas, I bought a couple more and put each in individual jars.正在迷上了美丽的男性bettas ，我买了一对夫妇更把每一个人罐子。 I fed them dried food and occasionally bread.余喂食干粮，有时面包。 However, I fed them too much.然而，我喂它们太多。 The water would become cloudy fast from fish waste and uneaten food.水将成为快速多云鱼类废物和uneaten食物。 So, I completely changed the water every other day.所以，我完全改变水每隔一天。 I would fill up the jar with new water right from the tap.我想填补了一罐新的水权从水龙头。 As you might guess, the fish didn't last very long.正如你可能猜测，鱼并没有持续很长时间。 After only a few months they started to get sick and eventually one after the other died.后仅过了几个月，他们开始觉得恶心，并最终相继死亡。 Dirty water, untreated new water, fluctuating water temperatures, and trauma from being moved frequently during water changes were some of the factors that contributed to the fish's low resistance to diseases.肮脏的水，未经处理的新水，水温波动，和创伤被感动经常在水资源变化的一些因素，有助于鱼的低抗病能力。 Although it's acceptable to keep bettas in relatively small containers without aeration, it would be much better to put them in a tank of at least 2 gallons, and you would still need to observe certain basic things such as not feeding them too much and setting aside new water to equilibrate the temperature and remove chorine prior to water changes.虽然这是可以接受的bettas保持在相对较小的容器没有曝气，将更好地使他们在坦克至少2加仑，你仍需要遵守某些基本的东西，如不喂它们太多，撇开新的平衡水的温度和消除之前，氯水的变化。 I was only about 10 years old at the time and didn't know anything about fish keeping.我只有10岁的时候，不知道什么鱼维持。 Neither did my mom.也没有我的妈妈。 Also, back then there were very few books about aquarium fish and the aquarium supplies were not as sophisticated as they are today.另外，当时很少有书水族馆鱼类和水族馆用品，没有那么复杂，他们的今天。 Today, there are plenty of good books and magazines as well as web sites about fish aquariums.今天，有很多很好的书籍和杂志以及网站对鱼的水族馆。 So, if you're serious about taking up this hobby, you should start by reading a few of them and gain the basic knowledge before you even buy your aquarium and fish.因此，如果您是认真考虑了这一爱好，你应该先读一些他们和获得基本知识，然后买你的水族馆和鱼类。 In the next article you will learn what happened when I tried to keep some goldfish, also with very little knowledge.在接下来的文章，您将了解到发生了什么当我试图让一些金鱼，还很少的知识。 In the mean time I invite you to visit my web site (see below) to learn more about aquarium fish keeping.同时我请你们来访问我的网站（见下文） ，以了解更多关于水族馆鱼类维持。 About the author: 作者简介： Jonathan Wangsa is the webmaster of All About Aquarium Supplies .乔纳森旺是网站管理员， 所有关于水族用品 。 There you can find resources and information about aquarium supplies and other aquarium related topics.您可以在那里找到资源和信息的水族馆用品和其他水族馆有关的议题。 Whether you're an expert or a newbie, you can also share your own experiences.无论你是专家还是新手，您也可以分享自己的经验。 Get a Free Special Report when you sign up for a Free Monthly Newsletter . 获得免费的特别报告当您注册一个免费的月刊 。
